Chapter 1052: 1052
The outer sect contained the greatest number of people within the entire Xuantian Dao Sect . Thus, the total number of points spread amongst all outer sect disciples and workers was enormous . Many of those points were the wealth parents had left to their children in hopes of them one day soaring .
Long Chen was focused on them right now . He was establishing a marketing platform within the outer sect .
After three batches of points, despite the fact that their price was now fifty thousand middle grade spirit stones for one, the supply did not meet the demand . Countless people were doing their best to buy them, but it was hard to get even a single one . What shocked Qian Duoduo was that it was just as Long Chen had said . There really were people who went to find him, looking to buy points in bulk .
They had come after the second batch . The price back then had been thirty thousand middle grade spirit stones, and they had offered to pay fifty thousand . Qian Duoduo had acted according to Long Chen’s instructions and ignored them .
After the third batch, they came again, offering a price of eighty thousand spirit stones . Qian Duoduo had offered a price of one hundred thousand, and if they were able to pay the price, they could buy out all the six hundred thousand points they still had .
That person had mysteriously returned two days later, taking in all of those six hundred thousand points in one gulp . Other than a tiny reserve, the Dragonblood Legion had sold off all their points .
Long Chen had obtained a total of sixty billion middle grade spirit stones . They were packed into a mountain in his spatial ring .
Once those points were bought, the person behind the scenes finally appeared . It was the Divine Beast Mansion’s Hu Guishan .
However, just Hu Guishan on his own was unable to afford such a thing . He had taken all his disciples’ middle grade spirit stones, and it still hadn’t been enough . That was because their dependence on middle grade spirit stones after advancing to Sea Expansion was too high .
Normally, middle grade spirit stones were all used as currency . Not that many people would store up huge stockpiles of them .
Without enough middle grade spirit stones, they had used high grade spirit stones to make up for the difference . But it still hadn’t been enough .
Sixty billion middle grade spirit stones was ten times the amount of what Long Chen had paid to reconstruct the Eastern Wasteland’s branch sect . Furthermore, the actual reconstruction only took three billion . The rest had been for savings and extras .
In other words, sixty billion was enough to build twenty of those branch sects . From this, it could be seen how much money the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples had .
Hu Guishan wasn’t able to eat it all by himself, so he had worked together with Fan Song’s Hegemon Hall and Que Xinyan’s Flame Gate . Only all together did they have enough spirit stones .
Once they were bought, Hu Guishan and the others immediately released the news, mocking Long Chen for selling his incredibly precious points for some useless spirit stones . It was foolish to the peak .
The news that Long Chen had sold all his points quickly spread throughout the Xuantian Dao Sect . Countless people mocked him for his stupidity .
Only Long Chen was sneering inside at them . He told the Dragonblood warriors to ignore them and just properly drill their formations and accumulate battle experience .
Right now, Long Chen was the hegemon of the outer sect . The law enforcers didn’t dare to touch him .
Without anyone to bully them, the peddlers returned . Long Chen had the outer sect disciples form a region outside the city for the peddlers to sell their wares . He gave them a way to live that didn’t disturb the order of the city .
If you wanted high quality things, you could go inside the city, and if you just wanted street stall goods, you could go outside the city . Those peddlers were incomparably grateful and took the initiative to pay a protection fee .
Long Chen had the outer sect disciples take a small fee and send a few disciples to look after their safety, so no one would cause trouble for them again .
The outer sect quickly began to thrive under Long Chen’s rule . It was more flourishing than ever .
In the outer sect’s members’ eyes, Long Chen was like a god, and they prostrated themselves before him . Even the law enforcers had to be obedient and didn’t dare to leave their doors .
At this time, everyone complied with the rules very properly, and there was basically no need for law enforcers . Everything was peaceful and harmonious .
Long Chen essentially handed those matters to Wang Mang and Qian Duoduo to handle . Using his few remaining points, he spent five thousand on a Treasure class, seventh tier medicinal furnace .
That made Long Chen’s heart bleed, but there was no way around it . He hadn’t refined pills in a long time, and his pill furnace was unable to keep up with his requirements . He had no choice but to spend a great deal of money on buying one .
This pill furnace could only count as middle grade . High grade ones cost tens of thousands of points, while peak grade pill furnaces cost hundreds of thousands of points, or even millions . Long Chen didn’t even dare to look at those .
He had realized that in the Xuantian Dao Sect, no matter how many points you had, it wouldn’t be enough . That was because there were far too many good things to buy .
In a private room within the city, Long Chen had a few outer sect disciples guard the door so that no one would disturb him .
Because he was a worker, it was more convenient for him to stay in the outer sect . He still retained his privileges and could enter the inner sect, but he couldn’t live there .
A flame leaped into existence over his hand . The Earth Flame was much stronger now, delighting him .
Huo Long had devoured two new Earth Flames and was still in the process of digesting all their energy . But even now, there was an extremely obvious leap in its power . Once all that energy was digested, Huo Long would reach a terrifying level .
“It’s been a long time since I’ve done any alchemy . Will I have gotten rusty?”
Long Chen heated the furnace and took out a few medicinal ingredients from the primal chaos space . Right now, he was refining a seventh tier medicinal pill known as the Bitter Earth Mortal Molting Pill .
This pill’s effect was the same as the peak grade Divine Mortal Molting Elixir he had obtained in the Immemorial Path . But it definitely wasn’t on the same level in terms of effect .
That was because the Divine Mortal Molting Elixir increased a person’s talent and cleansed their bone marrow without the person feeling the slightest pain . In fact, it was incredibly comfortable .
But the Bitter Earth Mortal Molting Pill was unable to do the same . Its main ingredient was the Bitter Earth Dragon Bone Root, and that thing was both bitter and spicy . When it was ground into powder, it would automatically ignite .
In any case, once the Bitter Earth Mortal Molting Pill was consumed, even a man of steel would soften . There was no way around this . Although the Xuantian Dao Sect also had Divine Mortal Molting Elixir that could be bought, it would cost eight hundred for each person . That was eight months of rations for an inner sect disciple, and there was no way for them to afford it .
“Nice, what a strong flame!”
Long Chen had just started refining some of the ingredients when he saw that the refinement was completed in just a breath . That delighted him . This was the result of being connected spiritually with his Earth Flame . What he wanted, it would immediately do . It was incredibly easy .
If he had subdued another Earth Flame, it definitely wouldn’t be this easy . Long Chen praised himself for making the right decision in not listening to the Eastern Wasteland Bell . Rather than subduing that lion whatever blaze, having Huo Long to do his bidding was much more dependable .
With Huo Long’s assistance, refining the ingredients into powders was as easy as turning a hand . In fact, after he repeated the same refinement several times, Huo Long would memorize the flame control for that ingredient, and its control would be just as accurate as Long Chen’s .
Time passed, and eventually, a bang came from within the pill furnace . Long Chen opened the lid and saw nine medicinal pills covered in lines and releasing strong medicinal fragrance .
“Hehe, a treasure blade does not rust . Eight nine-ring pills, and one eight-ring pill . Achoo!”
Long Chen suddenly went through a sneezing fit, as the medicinal fragrance was too pungent and it irritated his eyes . He hastily tossed them inside a bottle .
For the next few days, Long Chen gave his crystal card to Tang Wan-er . Using the remaining points, he had Tang Wan-er and Guo Ran raise their power as much as possible . Within the Dragonblood Legion, the two of them had the greatest room for growth, and they would be the greatest guards of the faction’s lives during the competition .
Tang Wan-er could learn wind magical arts, and within the trial regions of the Xuantian Dao Sect, she could cultivate them twice as fast with half the effort .
As for Long Chen, his main mission was to refine pills as fast as possible . Fortunately, with Huo Long’s assistance, his alchemy arts were practically miraculous . A furnace of pills could be refined without him even doing anything . Huo Long had already memorized the process, and in just a dozen breaths, the refinement would be completed .
This kind of terrifying speed would probably cause countless alchemists to commit suicide out of shame . Furthermore, each furnace of pills was comprised of nine-ring pills . Other than the first eight-ring pill, the rest were all nine-ring .
After three days and three nights of refining, he had over thirteen thousand Bitter Earth Mortal Molting Pills .
Just one pill was enough for each person . More accurately, if a person ate two, they would be crippled . This was an extremely domineering pill .
Long Chen left his seclusion . The outer sect was extremely normal . He went to the inner sect and saw far fewer people than before .
The classes were over, so everyone had already chosen their best cultivation paths . They had entered the various cultivation lands, as there were specialized instructors there to guide them .
Returning to Crouching Dragon Mountain, he saw that the majority of disciples were already cultivating . Long Chen waited until night, but the majority had yet to gather . At this time, law enforcers came to tell Long Chen that he should return to the outer sect .
As a result, Long Chen simply told them to scram, and they didn’t dare to make a sound . They obediently went to report this, but in the end, nothing else happened . Most likely, the Law Enforcement Hall was also aware they were unable to cause Long Chen any difficulties over such minor things . Rather than wasting the effort, they just let him be .
Finally, the Dragonblood warriors were all gathered, with the new Dragonmark warriors also present . They worshipfully looked at the person standing in front, the only person who could wear their personal robes in the inner sect .
Looking at all those new faces, Long Chen felt a bit foreign . But seeing how passionate their gazes were, he was also full of emotion .
“Brothers, I’ve come here today to give you candy . There’s no need to be courteous . Come, each person can have one . ”
